Background:
Aneurysms of the deep lower limbs veins are extremely rare. Diagnosis of such conditions may be confusing and suggest the presence of a neoplastic lesion.
Case Presentation:
We herein report a case of a 68-year-old woman who was admitted with a large vein tumour revealed by sonography and computed tomography. A direct phlebography revealed a large venous aneurysm of the right common iliac vein with an adhering thrombus and a large collateral circulation. Anticoagulant treatment and compression with an elastic stocking were initiated because the patient refused surgical treatment. A 2-year follow-up showed no aneurysm growth or thromboembolic complications.
Conclusions:
We show herein that conservative management can be effective and safe in cases of this rare condition.
